Floating

~~~

I’m floating in the sky

Between layers of cloud

Way up high

Weightless

Light as air

Without a care

Can’t come back

To earth

With a bump

Reality hits

With a thump

Aaah, no

Not now

Oww!

~~~

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

      Yes, John! Tomorrow I have the upheaval of moving which I dislike intensely. It is for my own good as I will be more independent of the care centre but they will assist me where necessary. I have already met some of my neighbours too.

    Here’s a good one for Monday morning….

    • adeeyoyo says :

      One of the advantages of moving and becoming more independent is that I will be able to wake up at a ‘respectable’ time, Kate. No more 04h00 or 04h30! ;)

  3. sunamu says :

    I had a similar feeling when I subjected myself to the flowing river Godavari closing my eyes and standing afloat. It was as if I was floating in the cosmos. The ‘ouch’ part of course, was my knee which ached due to arthritis.
    Hope you would revert back to your own routine. Best of luck.

  4. adeeyoyo says :

    Thank you Sunamu! When I meditate I have often floated face down in water with water lillies (lotus flowers) also floating in the water and had such a feeling of peace.

    Arthritis is the bane of my life, Sunamu. I had a knee replacement in November 2010 and then the break above the replacement occurred in April 2011. Now I am waiting for this to heal…

    Whyd’you spoil it?? I was enjoying that :)

    haha playfully done….if you are going to have a head in the clouds might want to keep a foot on the ground…smiles.

    Hi Adee…shades of Winnie the Pooh. :)

  8. nrhatch says :

    Lovely poem! Good luck with the move.

  9. bluebee says :

    Will you be able to get your little canine friend (Fritz?) back, Adee?

  10. Carl D'Agostino says :

    Will post something related to this in a day or so.

  11. Selma says :

    I hope your move goes well and that you meet some nice people. I often dream of being up there, floating in the clouds. It would be totally blissful!

    • adeeyoyo says :

      Oy, Selma, I’m at sixes and sevens at the moment. Taking the day off, haha – run out of space to put things and more boxes to unpack… Yes it would be wonderful to escape – absolute bliss!

    That reality can really sting. I’m loving your current series of poems; most relaxing, thank you.
